NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Cefaly® the first device of its kind to receive U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the preventative treatment of migraine headaches has opened its first U.S. office in Connecticut. The new space in Darien, Connecticut, will serve as the exclusive distributor of Cefaly® in the United States. The devices will ship from a contracted warehouse in Pennsylvania.

"We are excited to be able to bring drug-free relief to patients quicker with best in class safety," said Dr. Pierre Rigaux, the chief executive officer of CEFALY Technology, the Belgian maker of the device and a member of the team of inventors.
